Um, hello … what day is it? i made it to Eniskillen in 3 hrs ( Google said 1 hr 48 mins), Bought a new vacuum cleaner, popped next door & bought CHOCOLATE, then onto the supermarket, where I filled my trolley with cat food & booze. The weather was atrocious, wild wind & rain. On the way back I managed to get lost seven times! Met some lovely people (the last guy who helped me on my way, well, ladies, I’d have willingly bent over backwards for). Eventually got home as it was getting dark, fed the cats & self, lit a fire, had a largish scotch & fell asleep. Happy day! Saw Ben Bulbin for the 1st time, waterfalls, lakes & valleys carved out during the last ice age – wonderful!
Tamra Phelps
Sounds like the opening segment of a wonderful rom-com movie, lol!!
Shelly Peterson
Today I am going to birthday lunch and then I will have the grandkids.

Very cold and wet this morning. They were calling for a wintry mix overnight with snow this morning, we didn’t get either.

Elizabeth
My mom fell this morning, I’m waiting for the evaluation…
Michele Soyer
Well there was a big mix up with my booze order this morning and it took from 9 -11am to get it sorted – the store used uber eats instead of in- store delivery people today and it was just a mess.. anyway with 3 phone calls to the store it finally was rectified…having a small party tomorrow and wanted an early delivery to get everything set up…appetizer recipes on hand and small desserts organized…I am now ready..
Lunch made and until then my feet are up with the cats joining me to read listen to music and relax…
Kate Sarsfield
2 hours? Bloody Hell! I’d have cancelled/walked out/started moaning out loud/gone back to bed to try again later/stuck with it, depending on whichever mood I woke up with! Fair play, as we say over here. Hope you have a lovely party!
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve had a lovely day today! I’m off to Enniskillen in N. Ireland first thing in the morning so I’ve had a day of list-making!!! Oh, the joy!!! I’m sorted, the car’s (fingers crossed) is sorted, breakfast ready to take with me, my map (no GPS or smartphone) and my shopping list. It’s mostly catfood & some bottles of booze, enough to last well into the New Year, though I’m sure I’ll be tempted by some goodies. Oh, and a new vacuum cleaner. I should be home before it gets dark. Wish me luck!
Michele Soyer
Be safe and get all your goodies!
Michele Soyer
Be safe and get all your goodies!

I need to make a trip to the library today need to pick some items and return some. Making breakfast burritos this morning with eggs, cheese, sausage, green chilis and sour cream. Have a nice day out there.

Very cold this morning. Supposed to get snow overnight – it reallllly disrupts things (roads) so I hope we don’t get any snow or ice tonight.
Shelly Peterson
Today is a lazy day. not much going on.
Ed
Had a good day today. Jets lost tonight so that wasn’t good.
Terri Quick
I went out shopping for a bit. My back is killing me lol
Elizabeth
Back on the bus with my food drive stuff, then will try to bring home some dinner…
Kate Sarsfield
OWWWW!!! I’ve done something to my back. Right between the shoulder blades. I’d love a long soak in a bath or a hot shower but will settle for a hottle bottle and a lie-down.
Tamra Phelps
Right there with you! Mine is a pinched nerve. Ugh.
l p
the day is going well. up early to receive an overseas call from a friend. it was nice to get caught up. we promised to do it more often. enjoy your day thanks
Michele Soyer
Laundry, vacuuming and a bit of dusting and i am done for the day! The cats are being very good about the Christmas trees! Just sitting a way a bit and gazing…good girls… If I don’t get up right after this I wil just want to sit and browse around lol
Shelly Peterson
Today is just a day of dialysis for me.
heather
It got super chilly here last night. My cat slept with me and she only does that when she is cold. I have some running around to do today and I need to get the eneregy to do it all. Have a nice day.
Ed
Had a good day. Looking forward to Christmas.
l p
the day is going well. I was up early to get out and do some errands before the bad weather hit. home now and plan to stay that way until tomorrow. thanks

I don’t like that it gets so dark out so early. It bothers my depression
Kate Sarsfield
You and me both, Terry 🙁
Shelly Peterson
Today I had a dr. appointment in the morning and then spent the afternoon with a friend.
Elizabeth
Brought stuff on the bus for a food drive, then realized it’s tomorrow…ugh.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve been busy all day but when I look around I can’t see much difference! Lots of little jobs that needed doing. Went into the library & started printing off shopping vouchers from my online surveys. I’ll have about €400 altogether! Happy Christmas to me!!!!
heather
I am working around the house today. Need to get my tires rotated but I think I will do that fun chore tomorrow. Making fish and chips for dinner. Have a blessed day.
Tamra Phelps
I had some groceries delivered tonight because it is supposed to snow tonight. Just about 3 inches, and people ought to know it will be gone in a day, lol. But nope. They clear the shelves. So, I jumped on the bandwagon–out of fear of everything being gone!
Terri Quick
It’s amazing that it’s December already
Elizabeth
Walked to the library, now I’m trying not to buy dumb stuff online…
l p
the day is going well. got all the bread and goodies for the week made. it’s going to be a good week sharing them. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
A new month – where did this whole year go? Staying put until the 7th when we go to see the Dakota Valley Symphony Christmas program… looking forward to that.
Sitting here looking at the blanket of snow and the rabbits eating the food I just put out for them – they know where to come every day…all my chores are done for the day and no need to cook plenty of leftovers..a martini and my book until lunch…
Kate Sarsfield
Cripes! December already? Pricing vacuum cleaners online. It’s been a couple of weeks since mine died & with 4 cats in the house, well, you can imagine the hairs etc. Prices in Northern Ireland are a lot less than here in the Republic and, since I’m less than a 2-hr drive away, I’m seriously thinking of a shopping spree before Christmas. Lots of people regularly do this and it’s certainly makes sense, even with travel costs, exchange rates etc. Just one example: the cat’s regular cat food is 23 euro for 40 pouches down here. In the North, it’s under 20 for 80 pouches! Human food is the same price, but toiletries, over the counter meds, alcohol & cigarettes much, much cheaper.
Michele Soyer
Go shopping Kate…the savings sound great… Wait I’m coming!! LOL
Tamra Phelps
wow, it sounds worth it to me!
Shelly Peterson
I haven’t been feeling good lately. I’ve been super tired.
Cathy L
Good morning! Hope everyone has a blessed day!
heather
Happy December 1st!!!!!!!! I just changed the month on the wall calendar and it was a weird feeling. Yes, I still use a monthly wall calendar I am ‘old school’ still put pictures in frames too. I sure wish I could come to your craft fair that sounds like so much fun and I would love to see your booth. Have a nice day out there.
